Product Overview
Voltage Translating Gates
Systems that require logic gates can have mismatched logic voltage levels resulting in the need for a voltage translating gate to enable communication between devices. For example, a singular LVxT device can be used instead of both a translator and gate, resulting in a decrease of board space and easier integration.

Design Considerations
- Voltage translation is capable of performing both up and down translation with a single supply
- Ability to reduce the number of parts for qualification and assembly
- Board design is streamlined by obtaining the functionality of two devices in one
- Wide voltage range support systems with varied levels of logic coexisting including 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5.0V
